Amid a power struggle within major publishing company Kunpu, cocky industry operator Akira (Yo Oizumi) gets assigned to lead its failing culture magazine Trinity. As new editor-in-chief he enlists the help of earnest rookie editor Megumi (Mayu Matsuoka) and attempts to revitalize the print by securing the commitment of a celebrated author, breaking out new literary talent and taking risks.
